As outlined in the revised Roadmap announced by Government, driver testing has resumed from 29 June on phased basis.
The resumption of driver testing means that driving instruction will also need to resume. On 22 June, the Road Safety Authority wrote to all Approved Driving Instructors advising them of the planned reopening of driver testing services from 29 June and the health protocols being applied.
It is up to each driving school and individual self-employed driving instructor to ensure that they are able to resume their businesses safely in compliance with the National Return to Work Safety Protocol.
